Water Pump leaking

Glad to see this thread cause the dealer I had an oil change at during a trip last week told me my pump was leaking and I needed to get it replaced but they didn't have one instock and I was leaving the next day. Guess I need to look how bad mine is and get it scheduled soon.

I recently replaced my secondary fan blade & motor... I didn't notice and issues with water pump leakage..
I did a quck inspection last night in the areas shown and still didnt see any problems with dried fluid.

I'm going to try a take a closer look at both the air and drain holes soon..
Just to make sure there are no signs of problems.

My coolant bottle was sitting at "Low", so I also added about 6-8 ounces of the Toyota Long Life pink fluid.
Basically, to bring it right back to "Full"
(Make sure you check or adjust fluid on an over night cooled motor)

I guess its normal to lose about that much of fluid in over 2 years of operation and/or approx 35K miles...

Wow I am surprised the water pump has failed early. Some are saying 30K
Typically water pumps last until 75K or longer. It sounds like the 08-10 are affected and the 2011's have the newer version pump. Hopefully it will last until 75K
